Q Yes, Scott, can you assure us that Andrew Card did not speak to either -- or did not tell the President or Karl Rove or Scooter Libby or anybody else about the Justice Department investigation?

MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, again, those questions came up back in October of 2003 and I addressed them at the time.

Q May I ask one follow-up?

MR. McCLELLAN: You may. Go ahead.

Q I know that none of you are speaking about this because it's an ongoing investigation. Can you explain why Alberto Gonzales would go on TV yesterday and do that, and talk about it?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, what he said was already said from this podium back in October of 2003, and I don't think he got into commenting in any substantive way on the discussion. But the President has said that we will be glad to talk about this once the investigation has come to a conclusion, but not until then. And there have certainly been preferences expressed to the White House that we not get into discussing it while it is ongoing.

I used to think these guys were cagey and operated on the same page. There appears to be a lot more confusion in this Admin than I thought. Clearly, the marching order memos aren't getting around. Or maybe they're smart enough to realize no one gives a damn what that fat twit says at press briefings?

The Bush Administration, confounding us for five years with the never ending curiosity.... "Lucky idiots or brilliant devious bastards?"

I think both. Perhaps they are divinely guided. If they are, lovely. God loves a scheming inmbecile. Maybe I will get to heaven after all...

You don't think that one of them going off and yapping was part of the plan? A sign that really they only aren't talking about it when talking about it would involve saying they were wrong, but are talking about it when it suits them?

I guess I am cynicaler than you are.

Communism is a good idea, but I'm not ready to suggest we sign on.

That thunderclap you just heard was the snap of Penske and his socks abandoning you at the speed of argyle.

Your point?

I was under the impression you were taking the position that the Admin never said the WMD threat was "imminent." My bad. No one could be stupid enough to say GWB and Co. never argued that there was an imminent threat, right?

I don't think its ever in their plan to look as stupid as McClellan's been looking.

That said, I do lean a bit toward them being more devious than disorganized. I think they know their true believers will never turn on them, facts be damned.

I'm not sure these guys even give a shit about the future of their party.

Actually I agree with him. A.good.idea. I have had lots of ideas that seemed good at the time, in the idea stage. "In practice" is a-hole-nother matter.

Remember patentparalegal?
